Best 5 Butternut Squash Stock And Soup Recipes

BEST BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP EVER

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat; cook the onion, garlic, and thyme in the hot butter until the onion has softened, about 5 minutes. Add the squash and chicken stock; bring to a simmer and cook until the squash is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Crumble the bouillon into the soup; season with cumin, allspice, salt, and pepper; remove from heat.
• Pour the soup into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender in place with a kitchen towel and carefully start the blender using a few quick pulses to get the soup moving before leaving it on to puree. Puree in batches until smooth and pour into a serving bowl. Alternately, you can use a stick blender and puree the soup in the pot.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Cut the squash in half through the stem and remove the seeds. Drizzle the cut edges with oil, season with salt and pepper, and put it, cut side down, on a baking sheet. Roast until very soft, about 1 hour. Remove the squash from the oven, turn the halves over and let them stand until cool enough to handle. Scoop the flesh from the shell, into a bowl and discard the shell.
• In a large saucepan or Dutch oven with a lid, heat the 2 tablespoons oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until softened, about 6 minutes. Add the squash flesh, chicken stock, and curry powder and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, cover, and cook until the squash is broken down, about 10 minutes.
• Cool the squash mixture for about 5 minutes before adding it to a blender. Working in batches, puree the soup in a blender until smooth, transferring the puree to a clean saucepan as you work. Season the soup with salt and pepper, to taste, and simmer a few minutes over medium heat to combine the flavors. Ladle the soup into serving bowls and serve immediately.

• Brush the cut surfaces with about a tablespoon of the olive oil.
• Put the garlic inside the squash cavities and place halves in the pan cut side down.
• Add the onions to the pan and brush with remaining olive oil. Pour the water into the bottom of the pan, cover and bake for 50 minutes.
• Uncover and bake for 5-10 minutes more or until the squash is tender and the onions are soft.
• When the squash is cooled enough to handle, scoop out the flesh.
• Squeeze the garlic cloves out of their skins and discard the skins.
• In batches in a blender, combine the baked vegetables, vegetable stock, thyme, nutmeg, salt and pepper and puree until it is smooth. (If you are making this ahead - chill here - and when ready go to the next direction).
• Pour the soup into a pot and heat gently.
• In a small skillet, melt the butter and saute the sage leaves until dark and curled.
• Garnish each bowl of soup with the sage leaves.

BUTTERNUT SQUASH STOCK AND SOUP

Steps:

• Dry the squash: Heat oven to 150 degrees. Line a 12-by-15-inch rimmed sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray lightly with grapeseed oil. Slice squash in two at the point where the neck and bulb meet; reserve neck for another use. Cut bulbs in two lengthwise. Slice each piece into 3/4-inch half-rounds, leaving seeds and webs intact. Arrange slices on sheetpan. Bake until moisture has evaporated, about 10 hours. Cool. If baked in advance, place in plastic zipperlock bags and freeze.
• In a heavy 5- or 6-quart stockpot, toss onions, shallots, leeks, garlic, celery and carrot together and spray with grapeseed oil 10 seconds to coat. Stir well. Cover pot, and cook vegetables over very low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are soft, fragrant and beginning to color, about 30 minutes. Increase heat to medium-high, add 10 cups water, 4 ounces of the dried squash (freeze remaining for another time), bay leaf, salt and peppercorns. Simmer, uncovered, over very low heat for 30 minutes. Add parsley and kale, and simmer 5 minutes. Add scallions, remove from heat and steep 5 minutes. Strain. At this point stock may be used as a base for any soup or sauce or frozen until needed.
• To make soup, bring strained stock to a simmer in stockpot. Add diced squash, and cook over low heat, covered, until squash is extremely tender. Purée in blender in batches until perfectly smooth. Add heavy cream and salt and cayenne to taste. Serve.
